I have alot of Rebs armed with Spencer rifles and carbines for my Cavalry........They are very powerful. I have seen a couple times where the Union does alot of sea invasions........heck the game I am playing now, newest version, Coming Tide scenario (not the balanced economy) the Union has launched 16 sea invasions on Mobile. I have the fort heavily built up, rifle pit, abaitis......but only 12lb artillery with 3 brigades with Spencers as a garrison. Not a single invasion has come close to taking the fort, I have seen sieges end after the turn it starts because there is no one left. 6,000 on the first go around and 4-6,000 on the second. Insane. Waiting on the AI to wise up and either bring more troops, lots of artillery or at least try something other than frontal attacks. I think this is why my field army is wiping the field with the AI, he is losing too many troops attacking the same fortress. Oh yeah, I saved and pinched alot of penny's and built a Fort 3 there. But when he does try for the place seriously, I will send my Cavalry Division down to take care of things.
